APSE (Southern) Building Resilient Housing Services Seminar

Join us as we explore how councils in the South of England are responding to rising housing demand, homelessness pressures, financial constraints and Local Government Reorganisation.

This in person seminar will provide practical lessons and ideas to help councils strengthen homelessness prevention, maintain effective frontline services, manage organisational change, plan for future housing needs and provide a great networking opportunity.
